“The Rocky Mountain News, gone. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, gone. Today the Ann Arbor (Michigan) News announced it would publish its last edition in July. Three other papers announced today they’re cutting back to three print editions a week. At least 120 newspapers have shut down since January 2008, according to Paper Cuts, a Web site that tracks the industry.” *
This is not good news at all for the newspaper industry. Yes, I am one of those people that lean more towards the Internet to get my news today but I don’t blame me (or my kind). I blame the newspaper companies for not changing with the times.
This has been coming for a long time. And it seems like the good-old-boy newspaper network has been sitting idley by and denying this premonition to be true.
Well, here we are. And companies are now failing for not providing the service their consumers want.
Good news: it’s not too late. Get with it guys. The Internet is here to stay. You have the information we want. Now you must get it on the platform where we live.
